$2 – $3 DIY Goodwill Vase Makeovers

March 14, 2012

This week I did a mini makeover on my living room. After going vase shopping, I decided they were way too pricey. I bought a vase (or two) at Goodwill and decided to give them a makeover to match my living room. This was a really easy makeover for this vase where it only took a few hours to create, mainly because of drying time.

Project:

Flower Vase Makeover

Time:

10 minutes painting/gluing and 2 hours of drying time

Supplies:

Vase

Foam Brushes

Red Glass Enamel Paint

Gold Metallic Paint

Glue Gun

How To:

Glue dots with a hot glue gun around the top of the bow of the vase for an embellishment.

*Tip* Freeze glue sticks before using them to avoid strings.

Paint with red paint (or paint of your choice), at least two coats on the outside and inside and allow to dry.

Once it’s dry, paint loose strokes with the metallic paint for the distressed look.

Dry, done!

Want something a little easier?

I bought this vase at Goodwill for a buck and spray painted it with gold metallic paint. Took less than 60 seconds! I then spray painted some straw ornamental balls to fill it with.

Quick Tip** Got a vase with a chip? Fill it with a hot glue gun, then paint!
